Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...Still later, in 1861, the conductor Pasdeloup instituted his " Concerts populaires," which came to an end in 1884. The same field was taken up about this time by Colonne and Lamoureux, whose concerts still continue to rank among leading French musical institutions. The revolution of 1789 gave a great impetus to the musical art. Numberless patriotic songs came as a result of it, the most famous being the " Marseillaise," written by Rouget de l'Isle, an officer of engineers. To the Revolution is also due the founding of the Paris Conservatoire. To the same source may be traced the popular taste for the opera comique, the bourgeoisie favoring that form rather than grand opera. Since 1860, concert (that is, a " standard ") pitch has been prescribed by the French government. Albert Lavignac, in his admirable work entitled Music and Musicians, has ascribed to the three great schools of music, the German, Italian, and French, the following characteristics: Germany is heir to the old contrapuntists; to her belong scientific music, profound and philosophic combinations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBringing together scholars from the fields of musicology and international history, this book investigates the significance of music to foreign relations, and how it affected the interaction of nations since the late 19th century. For more than a century, both state and non-state actors have sought to employ sound and harmony to influence allies and enemies, resolve conflicts, and export their own culture around the world. This book asks how we can understand music as an instrument of power and influence, and how the cultural encounters fostered by music changes our ideas about international history.
